<\/p>\nNAN reports that the case was adjourned following a letter by defence counsel, Mr Olalejan Ojo (SAN), who was not available.<\/p>\n
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) preferred an 11-count charge against the musician.<\/p>\n
The charges bordered on conspiracy, possession of counterfeit credit cards and fraud.<\/p>\n
One Yad Isril, still at large, was charged alongside the musician.<\/p>\n
Fashola, who sang the popular song: \u201cAm I a Yahoo Boy?\u201d, was arraigned on May 20 before Justice Nicholas Oweibo, but he pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n
The court granted him bail in the sum of N2 million with two sureties in like sum.<\/p>\n
According to the EFCC, he committed the offences on different dates between Nov. 26, 2018 and Dec.11, 2018, as well as May 10, 2019.<\/p>\n
The commission alleged that Fashola and his accomplices conspired to use different Access Bank ATM cards to defraud their victims.<\/p>\n
It alleged that the defendant used Access Bank credit card number 5264711020433662, issued to another person, in a bid to obtain fraudulent financial gains.<\/p>\n
The EFCC also said that he possessed counterfeit credit cards belonging to different people, with intent to defraud which amounted to theft.<\/p>\n
The alleged offences contravene the provisions of Sections 1 23 (1) (b), 27 (1) and 33(9) of Cyber Crime (Prohibition) Prevention Act, 2015.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
